"Okay, you are indeed the Young Commander's escort, you are very courageous." Heimao clapped his hands and asked his subordinate behind him to take out a newly written contract paper.
"Since there's no problem, let's ask the Young Master Escort to have his fingerprints pressed."
A piece of yellow paper and a box of red ink pad were presented to Cheng Shaojiu.
Cheng Shaojiu looked at the things in front of him. He was silent as blood surged through his body.
After a long time, he slowly trembled his hands, raised his fingers, and dipped them in the red seal mud.
The red thumb was raised, hanging in the air, facing the contract paper, but it could not be pressed down.
"Young Mr. Escort, please." The man in the black mantle urged again.
He has seen too many scenes like the Yongye Escort Agency. It is difficult to know the good and bad things in this world, and who can tell clearly whether he can always be stable.
Today alone, he had to deal with three families with this kind of trouble.
Yonghe Escort Agency is just one of them.
Cheng Shaojiu sat in his seat, breathing rapidly and feeling cold all over.
He looked at the contract paper intently, knowing that once he pressed it, there would be no way he could go back.
But he couldn't help it.
The opponent is the Zhao family, the Zhao family of the Seven Family Alliance, the second-ranked Zhao family. In the entire Feiye City, apart from the Ou family, the Zhao family is the largest.
He closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and pressed hard.
Squeak.
Suddenly, the wooden door of the living room was pushed open.
Wei He stood at the door panting, looking intently at Cheng Shaojiu and the rest of the people in his seat.
Wow.
He threw the things in his arms to the ground.
"Brother Cheng, are these enough?"
There was a loud crashing noise.
Things were scattered all over the floor. It was a yellow leather bag, and what was scattered inside was actually gold tickets and various gold ingots.
Cheng Shaojiu stood up slowly with his hands hanging in the air, looking at the gold tickets scattered on the ground.
One of the stacks of large gold tickets was extremely eye-catching, with the amount of one hundred clearly written on it.
At a glance, there are at least thousands of gold here...!
"Is it enough?" Wei He said solemnly, "Not enough. I'll get more when I go back."
Not to mention anything else, the Five Ridges Palm alone is enough to exchange for a lot of gold.
These days, such secret techniques are all secret books, and no one is willing to take them out and exchange them.
A copy of the Five Ridges Palm can be exchanged for at least five hundred taels. This is because the Five Ridges Palm has no fundamental diagram or prescription.
Of course, if it's not enough, he can go back to the mountains and get a few hundred taels of gold. Maybe he's lucky and can get it back.
After becoming proficient, Wei He is now quite familiar with the mountains and forests outside the city, just like his own home.
"You..." Cheng Shaojiu felt that the most right thing he had done in his life was to become friends with Wei!
He gritted his teeth and held back his tears.
But I don't know how to speak.
He didn't know what to say, or what expression to use to face all this.
But he knows that the only thing he should do now is...
Snapped!
Cheng Shaojiu picked up the contract, banged it, and tore it in half.
"Brother! I owe you!" he said to Wei He seriously.
The man in black mandarin jacket opposite was also dumbfounded, looking at Wei He at the door.
So much money, so many golden tickets, with a little blood on them...
This guy....
He stared at Wei He, but for a moment he was the first to speak, leaving him speechless.
Not only him, but the entire living room, including the Cheng family and the Zhao family, were all stunned by this critical reversal.
Wei He's move was extremely timely.
"My friend, you have to think clearly. Intervene in this matter..." Black Jacket warned Wei He with narrowed eyes.
"Is the money here? If nothing happens, I'll leave first." Wei He pointed to the ground, interrupting the other party.
He waved his hand towards Cheng Shaojiu.
"Brother Cheng, remember to pay me back later. I have to go back to practice, so I'll go back first."
He just turned around and walked away as if nothing had happened.
It seemed that what was left behind was not more than a thousand taels of gold at all, but just a few bits and pieces.
The man in the black mantle wanted to say something else, but was stopped by his actions again.
It's not that he has never seen rich people. More than a thousand taels of gold, in today's world, is an astronomical figure to ordinary people, but to the gentlemen in the inner city, it is just a snap of their fingers.
In a time when the gap between rich and poor is so huge, it’s not like there are people who treat this little money like dirt.
But such people would definitely not include the young man in front of him, who was not worth ten ounces of gold.
At this point, the money on the ground is already enough for the escort agency to tide over the difficulties.
Cheng Shaojiu stood up and stood in front of a pile of scattered gold tickets.
Standing there, motionless.
"Manager Zhao, please come back."
He turned his head, looked at the black mantle, and smiled.
The man in the black mantle opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing. He stood up and hugged him.
"Young Master, escort chief, I admire you!"
He asked people to pick up the remaining notched gold tickets from the gold tickets on the ground, and then turned around and left with a group of people.
Cheng Shaojiu stood at the door and watched them leave the square, leave the door, and disappear into the long gray street outside the door.
The sound of carriages and horses gradually faded away until they were no longer audible.
"Husband..." Mrs. Cheng Zhang walked up behind Cheng Shaojiu and called softly with some worry.
"I'm fine." Cheng Shaojiu raised his hand and said in a low voice.
"fine."
He turned his back to everyone, and his face was already filled with tears.
But he didn't dare to cry. He was the young master's bodyguard and the current pillar of the Cheng family.
He must be steady, he must be steady, he must be steady...
His wife, children, and the bodyguards and heads of bodyguards who trusted him were all behind him, so he couldn't cry.
He is just a little tired, a little tired...
Everyone behind them silently cleaned up the mess and left quietly, leaving only Cheng Shaojiu standing in front of the door.
........
........
........
Shaoyang Mountain.
Wei He sighed and looked at the dense dead trees in front of him.
After several months, he finally came here to look for money again.
It was not for anything else, just because most of the bandits on the other mountains fled far away when they saw his costume, never to be seen again.
He didn't even get a chance to get close, let alone make money.
In fact, he can understand it, after all, now there are no fewer than dozens of bandits who have died under his hands.
And they are all elites who are not weak.
After all, with his size and build, most bandits would not dare to come up and rob him without any confidence.
So he was confident in everything he did.
"I just lent money to Brother Cheng, and I don't even have the money to buy groceries. I acted on impulse."
Wei He also felt a little regretful. If he had known it, he would have left a dozen taels of gold so that he could make a transition in life.
As a result, he now doesn't even have half a month's worth of food left.
On impulse, I even threw away the golden beans.
He walked carefully along the dense hay on the mountain towards the cave that Ding Hai had left for him.
That place is not a natural residence, but a place where Ding Hai temporarily stays while hunting.
Wei He planned to go there first to see if he could meet other hunters.
He was not the only one who knew about that cave, there were also many hunters who knew about it.
Everyone will tacitly agree to put some commonly used tools in the hole as a backup for everyone's convenience.
Along the opened mountain road, Wei listened in all directions, his movements were agile and quiet.
Reduce the sound as much as possible.
When he went to Shaoyang Mountain again, he also got news from the previous wine shop. It was said that there were strange beasts on Shaoyang Mountain now, and people from the Shaoyang Sect could often be seen hunting for strange beasts on the mountain.
Alien beast.
When I heard the name Wei He, I immediately remembered it.
He changed his attire, no longer the masked and full-body look before, then prepared all the equipment and props and went up the mountain again.
Although he killed a member of the Shaoyang Clan, after so many days, who knows who killed him?
who?
At that time, there was no one to see except weeds and woods.
Even the only people who had ever encountered him, the bandits, were all dead.
So in theory, he is still an ordinary hunter.
After quietly advancing on the mountain for half an hour.
Not long after, a head suddenly appeared in front of him.
A bandit with a knife wearing a gray turban was squatting next to a corpse on the ground, seemingly searching for it.
Wei He paused and recognized the symbol of the white turban.
He has killed a lot of bandits recently, and he knows the classification of these people.
All those wearing white headscarves are subordinates controlled by the Shaoyang Clan.
So the person in front of me should be the same.
He thought for a while, but still didn't intend to act rashly, so he slowly and quietly backed away.
It would be troublesome if there were still people watching around.
Just two steps back, Wei He suddenly glanced at the bulging money bag behind the bandit.
The shape of the money bag stood out, and it looked like gold ingots...
"Go!"
A flying stone hit the white-turbaned bandit hard on the head.
Wei He threw a handful of lime and covered the scene while the lime was scattered.
He rolled and flew out, striking the bandit with an extremely skillful technique.
Immediately, I got the money bag and a few random odds and ends.
Before the white ash fell to the ground, he scurried away again, burrowed into the grass on the other side, and disappeared.
The whole process takes no more than two seconds.
Wait for the ash to fall to the ground.
A bandit who was following him jumped out angrily and saw his companion lying on the ground with blood on his head.
He raised the knife in his hand and was about to scream.
Bang!
There was another muffled sound, and the bandit was hit in the head by a stone again and fell to the ground on the spot.
Another handful of lime was raised, and two seconds later, the man's body, including the money bag and knife, were all emptied.
Wei He stopped as soon as he saw the opportunity, and immediately decided to go down the mountain.
On the way, in addition to lamenting that the bandits on Shaoyang Mountain are rich, I also picked up two extra bags of lime.
It seems that not long ago, bandits began to have lime bags on their bodies.
Recently, he doesn't have to buy anything himself, and buys everything from bandits.
Consumption is sometimes not as good as replenishment.
In the two money bags, one contained five taels of gold, and the other contained only some gold leaves and gold beans. He was also a poor man.
But there was another item that surprised Wei He. It was a small copper wire woven bag with extremely exquisite craftsmanship.
Inside was a pile of dark, stone-like objects of unknown origin.
Wei He recognized that this was one of the hidden weapons that was very difficult to buy, named Black Tribulus.
Once thrown, it will automatically explode and release a large amount of poisonous smoke. It is very powerful.
The poisonous smoke can hurt people's ears and eyes, causing them to be temporarily blind. It can also cover up their body shape at the same time.
If you are properly prepared and have protective preparations in advance, a bag of this stuff can save lives at critical moments.
At the moment, he carefully put the things away. This thing was found from the bandits under the Shaoyang Clan. Thinking about it, the Shaoyang Clan member he met last time also had a dirty trick.
Even worse than him.
From this point of view, the Shaoyang Clan is not only vicious and vicious, but also rich and powerful.
Wei He immediately raised it to the highest alert level in his mind.
These days, it’s not just about having good martial arts skills that can win everything. You also need to have means.
